*Please read description in full before booking*

Previously known as a popular bed and breakfast for nearly three decades, The Little Harbor underwent a transformation to cater to large groups as a waterfront rental. Whether it's a romantic getaway, family reunion, corporate retreat, or a trip with friends, this property offers ample indoor and outdoor spaces for socializing. Each guest in your group will have their own private hotel suite, complete with a bathroom, Roku TV, and sitting area. As one of the largest group rentals in Door County and the only one of its kind, The Little Harbor stands out. Its robust construction, featuring 3-inch wide solid oak commercial grade doors, ensures minimal sound transfer between rooms and living spaces.

- On the 2nd floor, a large area awaits, including a game room with a poker table, bumper pool table, and a Golden Tee arcade game.

This space is an excellent spot for the guys to hang out, play games, or entertain the kids separately from the parents.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS:
- The property offers a total of 8 individual hotel-style bedroom suites. The sleeping quarters are separated from the social rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors, ensuring a peaceful environment for guests.

For families with babies, three pack-n-plays are available in the closet of the game room on the 2nd floor. Additionally, both common area living rooms have large couches for additional sleeping space.

A Luxurious, relaxing space
The Little Harbor is such a wonderful place to stay. It's clear that the whole lodge has been recently renovated. So many beautiful fresh new touches - furniture, carpet, appliances, etc. The hot tub was hot and clean and in perfect shape - usually I'm a little leery to go into a hot tub at a rental place but the Jacuzzi looked brand new. There was plenty of space to spread out for everyone. Each room has its own bathroom, plus there are bathrooms on both floors that are available to everyone. Two large living areas, two kitchens, a patio, a deck, grill for outdoor cooking, plenty of parking spaces, and we didn't use the stash of kayaks, bikes, etc in the adventure shed but I'm sure those would be amazing. One touch that I really liked was the fireplace in every room. It just makes the stay so very cozy and homey. I can definitely see myself coming back here again with a different group of people. There was LOTs of room for everyone and Emily, the location manager, was great with communication.

Wonderful Winter Stay
Little Harbor is the perfect set up for a large group of family and/or friends. We rented for our family Christmas and had a wonderful time. Every bedroom has a view of the lake, it's own bathroom and locked door. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. The seating areas are large and open. The game room is a nice bonus. We will definitely be renting again from this owner. Thank you for hosting us!

About the host

Hosted by Emily Taylor

Host profile image
The Little Harbor in Door County was a Bed & Breakfast for 24+ years and three cousins from Northeast Wisconsin purchased the property and turned it into a large group rental. Their families have always loved Door County by traveling there, living there, working there, and enjoying everything Door County has to offer. They are excited to start this new chapter in their lives.

Why they chose this property

Guests have the ENTIRE resort (indoor and outdoor) to themselves. But we do have a professional management company on call if there is something urgent that needs to be addressed. There is a professional cleaning company that cleans before and after guest stays. Including fresh linens, towels, vacuuming, sanitizing, and wipe downs.
